Want to buy Bluebird

[Kurt Horvath]

I stopped at Mr. Olivers a few weeks ago and took a good look at the 95 PT-42 at
the time he priced it, as is for $95,000 before he put a wrench to it, his
words, I would keep looking, the paint was in poor condition and I would say she
had been run hard and put up wet more than once. I did like the interior layout
though. A little bit worn, But the one thing that I recall is none of the tiles
in the kitchen or bathroon were cracked. I have a cracks that run front to back
and two cracks that run side to side. The shower stall is a little smaller than
the round glass type but it has more storage inside than mine has with lots of
cabinets.The '97 was at the auction yard when I was there so I can't comment on
it. But generally a coach that has been in use gets about 10,000 miles per year
on average, I did 20,000 my first year so It may be in good running condition. I
would have to be, to do that kind of mileage in 11 years, 18,500 a year MOL,
Most every
tech I ever spoke with said they would rather have a Bird that had high milage
on than one that had low miles. These coaches were made to run not sit.

Pete, I was hoping for a 10% finders fee

Having purchased my coach from Mr. Olivers, I can observe that he
tends to price the RVs he carries at a very realistic price. $130,000
does seem low for a 97 -- note that the '95 a bit further down the
page is listed at $119,500.

Looking at the photos (which can make the coach look a bit better
than in person) it seems to be in fairly good condition. I suspect
the high mileage is the key reason for the aggressive price (plus the
more realistic pricing that Mr. Olivers tends to have when compared
to the 'hopeful' asking price many owners seek (endlessly)) .

As for "what needs to be replaced" -- probably no more than the usual
unexpected replacements/ upgrades that most coaches end up needing...
